To the gentleman who sat in front of me at the high school volleyball game last night.
If watching your daughter lose a volleyball game upsets you to the point that your face turns red and smoke starts coming out of your ears.
Instead of yelling at the ref, and the coach, and the team...
Instead of yelling,
Becky, Becky. Relax. Focus. Take your time.
while the ball is in play. Causing Becky to look at you instead of the ball.
Might I suggest anger management classes. Because, you are not helping and you are going to have a heart attack.

When DS was little he played soccer. He was maybe about 4 yrs old and his team played every weekend. There was this father at one of the games one time who was very serious about his son doing well and winning, no matter what. As the little children were playing, he was yelling at his son, "Sacrifice the body, #4! Sacrifice the body!" To this day John and I crack up about this line and say it all the time to each other. Some people definitely need to relax...
I totally agree! When my boys were playing baseball, it always amazed me that some parents took it all so seriously. I know it's competition, but it's supposed to be FUN!
I hope I am never one of those parents!
Ugh. Sports freak parents.
The daughter of one of my friends played softball. I thought she just wasn't that good until I practiced with her by myself once. She was good. It was just her freako dad who scared her whenever she played. She was so afraid that he would get mad.
Parent spectators! That's an oxymoron for you (emphasis on the MORON part). It's supposed to be fun, people, FUN! I think I need anger management too!!
Oh yes! The parents can be truly awful.
OK, I agree that parents can be truly ugly to their kids, but, I give him some credit for being there.
There are some following anger management tips:-
• Take a few slow, deep breaths and concentrate on your breathing.
• Imagine yourself at the beach, by a lake, or anywhere that makes you feel calm and peaceful.
• Try other thoughts or actions that have helped you relax in the past.
